As of late I have been loving trying out different fragrances and perfumes. During the summer, I especially like wearing body mists since they are light and the scent isn't too overpowering. A recent favorite of mine is by Victoria's Secret and it is called the PINK Wild At Heart Body Mist. I own one of their perfumes as well and it is my absolute favorite, but sadly it is discontinued and I'm almost out of it so I was on the hunt for a different scent by the brand and came across this one and thought it would be perfect in the summertime!

Just wanted to share a couple of new makeup releases I discovered at the drugstore! NYC has come out with their new Smooth Skin Liquid Concealer, containing antioxidants and Vitamins A, C, & E. I got mine in the shade 786 Light. It comes with a doe foot applicator, and although it is a liquid concealer, it is nice and creamy and blends nicely into the skin. I got mine for just under $5, a great bargain!

I was on the lookout for a mineral powder since the summer heat has really been getting to my skin lately. I had heard that mineral powders are great during the hot summer months since they are lightweight and allow your pores to breathe better than liquid foundation, which can feel quite heavy on the skin. I was recommended the Laura Mercier Mineral Pressed Powder SPF 15 by my cousin who has been using it throughout the summer and let me in on its awesome staying power, and no surprise, I decided to pick one up for myself! :)

You may be wondering what "dry body brushing" is all about, as I myself had no idea until I read about it on Annie Jaffrey's blog a couple of months ago. What is wonderful about this technique is that you only need one thing, and that is a dry body brush. I snatched mine up from The Body Shop, called the Round Bath Brush, for $12. A well-invested $12, I must add!

Once in a while, a girl needs to treat herself to a manicure. There is no denying it, getting pampered at the nail salon will turn any bad day for the better! I myself am not a usual "manicure getter", but more of a "do-it-yourself-er". In fact, I believe I have only gotten my nails done once in my life, as a little girl at a very girly birthday party. We had all been treated to an airbrush design on our tiny nails. Oh how excited we all were to actually say we had gotten a professional manicure!

While on vacation in the States last week, I decided to pick up a few items at Sephora that I had been lusting over in the last few months. I'm telling you, every time I go in there, I just want to purchase everything... makeup junkie problems, I know! I did however limit myself to these 4 products, one of which I got for free: oh yeah!

This month, I was able to finish quite a few makeup products! In the last few months I have been using up a lot of skin care products, so it feels quite odd that this month I have none to share with you... haha.
